what a difference a week makes. i mean really. while i was hating the thought of returning to work this morning, i went, well, refreshed. though i came in to over 500 emails to respond to, i could tell that i was less stressed and i wasn't counting the minutes till the end of the day. so, perhaps i should use my 6 weeks of pto wisely, by taking a week every couple of months or so, most especially since my current employer does not pay you for unused time! while the day ended on a sour note (i found out i bombed my stats test) bummer, but i'll live. anyhow, this is a note to recap on some things i learned last week while on vacay.
1) my new favorite breakfast is a whole wheat english muffin with almond butter and slivers of banana on top (as rachel ray would say "delish and nutrish!")
2) i learned more about addison's disease than i ever cared to know - our problem child, ethyl was diagnosed with addison's disease, essentially it's when the adrenal gland stops producing the hormones that help you in stressful situations. so yes, our 3 year old dog who has never wanted for a thing has a problem dealing with stress!?!? anyone else see the irony here?
3) i adore my husband. no i didn't need a vacay to tell me that, but it was lovely spending so much time with him with no distractions, well except for the ethyl sitch.
4) i can be a serious procrastinator. one of my goals was to get ahead on some school work. needless to say, i didn't.
5) staycations are kind of awesome.

and 6)...you love going to mid-week shows with your bestie. no? kidding. Sounds like this staycation was a fantastic one! very glad it was so good for you. i'm actually looking forward to a week in baltimore at the end of april. while the bf is in a class during the day all week i intend to read, treat myself to what i've always wanted - a serious spa day, well, maybe half-day, and be completely lazy. yippee!
